Travelling On

Karmacat

Weeding, plus snapping off some weed seedheads, rather than actual weeding better than nothing.  The weeding was good in itself.  Plus a YG survey, 60 points.  Noffink else, but feeling more in equilibrium.

Weeding here too

I pulled up two wheelbarrow loads of nigella from the front garden, so that's kooking a but sad now, but at least everything else can see the light.

Ooh, I love nigella, for the edible seeds, the bees, and generally loving the look of it - it doesn't seem to grow well in my garden, though, it's always very late in comparison to everyone else around here.  Though I've plenty of other flowers that spread like weeds, that bees also love - even aquilegia, for instance.

Constant strong drizzle/light shower here, which is a little counter productive for me personally Nice relaxing morning, but I need to do some more proper weeding today - another breakout event tomorrow, I'm going to lunch at my sister's house!  Otherwise, just tootling around, even stacking up an aloe vera and a spider plant I'm sending her would help.

When you talk about breaking out, it sounds like you go into stealth mode, leave your ASBO at home, and shinny down the drainpipe in the night 😎...

KC, the Nigella self-seeds like mad - I'd already thinned buckets full in the spring. My favourite for the bees is our lavender hedge, which is so loud and busy it's fab - it must be the area, but my aquiligia (favourites since I was tiny) really struggled this year, tiny flowers and hardly any leaves, my friend about eight miles away had the same thing, and I just haven't seen many out on walks.

Things are strange, aren't they!  The big rhodedendron is in flower right now, and it actually sounds like a lawnmower a few gardens over, it has so many bees in it

Just off out there now

Good morning all   Dear me, it rained a lot yesterday!   Fortunately for me, I went to my sister's house for lunch, very nice too.  Nothing else done yesterday, so I realised I've got some catch up finance admin.  Today, I have:
- amended Asda delivery tomorrow.
- paid sister for holiday bills she paid.
- paid my Regular Saver that I can't automate - I've given up, and do 2 months at a time.
- sent money to Virgin so I can return it to my current account to meet Rewards T&C
- downloaded bank statements.

Finance wise, I still need to download other statements: Virgin, TalkTalk *cursed be their name", and the French bank, which isn't nearly as bad as I thought.

There's life admin too: 
- washing machine is already on.
- spraying antkiller
- card to be sent after one of my catsitting cats has gone  
- answer rellie's email
- back up computer
- use the dratted vacuum cleaner
- weeding.

Only the first four **need** to be done today, but I'd like some of the other three done as well.  Plus the statements downloaded, so the backup is useful.  I've left things to drift a bit - got to get my act back together.

Karmacat

Downloaded the statements though Virgin, as per usual, is being difficult, not showing the rate of interest - this time next year, when preparing for the tax declaration, I won't like that    in the meantime, a management company invoice has turned up from France, downloaded it but yet to be paid.  Progress, though   And the washing is on the line, though I'm watching the skies (for rain, not UFOs).

There's life admin too.  All ticked off the list: 
- washing machine
- card to be sent after one of my catsitting cats has gone  
- answer rellie's email
- weeding.
- plus I spoke to my friendly neighbour and he agreed to watch out for post that hasn't been shoved all the way through the door.

Very pleased I managed as much as I did, though slightly peeved I didn't have the energy to use the antkiller.  Still though but.  Tomorrow:
- healthy walk
- supermarket delivery (must get it washed and away in one day, cos of holibob).
- back up computer
- use the vacuum cleaner.
- yet more weeding.
